This is a lo-fi solution, but comment bans on RPS are generally down to email address or IP address restrictions. Do you have an alternative email address you can register with, perhaps?

Thanks for the suggestion, Jams. I had considered registering a new account - and I still might, if this situation goes unaddressed much longer. However, I've held off so far for a few reasons.

One, I'm pretty sure that the ban is a result of a mistake in moderation, and if I haven't done anything wrong, I'd prefer to keep to the moral high ground. Making a new account feels a little underhanded.

Two, if I did somehow violate the rules, I'd like to know what I did that caused offence. Otherwise, I might just end up making the same mistake again.

Three, I use this username for the majority of my social interaction with the gaming community, which includes mods that I've published. I'd prefer to stay consistent so that people can find and recognize me if they want to.

I do appreciate the helpful suggestion, though. I'm hoping it doesn't come down to that, but the way things seem to be going, it just might.

Okay, I give up. Time to register a new email account so I can circumvent this ban that apparently no one can be bothered to justify. I gotta say that I'm not terribly impressed with the comment moderation around here. Spambots hit every article on a daily basis, while actual users who make constructive comments get banned without a reasonable explanation or any fact-checking upon an appeal. It's a real shame, because the content of the site is usually above-par.

"Quantacat's name is still recognised even if he watches on with detached eyes like Peter Molyneux over a cube in 3D space, staring at it with tears in his eyes, softly whispering... Someday they'll get it."

Tell me what you like or dislike about RPS. You don't have to be nice, but you don't have to be rude, either.

the biggest advantage of this site from my perspective are the readers' comments under articles/posts. People are able to formulate inteligent opinions what makes me read comments under every single post I enter.

for that to happen you need to have a good basis of course - which for me are the posts you RPS guys create. I tried hard but didn't find another gaming site to match what's being delivered here. Thanks for that

You haven't seen anything. The forum is like that, on steroids.
Minus the puns threads. Hmmm.

Since most of the RPS guys keep forgetting to add funny alt-text to pictures these days, I vote that pictures all get a Caption under them... to force them to come up with humorous puns for every image.
